NOKIA X1-01 Review


Nowadays we all need more than one-Sim to communicate with our friends and families. In recent times every mobile operator comes with some unique plan like 1paisa/2sec and many more. So if we use more than 1 Sim then, we can save lots of money to our monthly expenses.
While selecting a Dual-Sim phone we have to consider few things like Good powerful Battery, Dual-Standby, Dual-Active(Costs higher than basic Dual-Sim) and some basic features.

For the past few month I am looking for basic Dual-Sim phone@2K that will act as a backup phone with Nokia 5233.While searching on the website like flipkart and letsbuy, my eyes stopped at two handset, Samsung E1252 and Nokia X1-01.Samsung E1252 was better but its not available here in Kolkata. So I have no choice to consider Nokia X1-01.

The Nokia X1-01 is a bar phone with a weight of 91.05 grams. The TFT screen is 1.8 inches supporting 65K colors on 128×160 pixels resolution. The keyboard is alphanumeric and the phone supports Dual SIM with Dual Standby mode. Dual Standby mode is where both the SIM are active when the phone is on; all new Dual SIM handsets come with this option so you need not worry about this feature. It costs only 1.9K INR

The Nokia X1-01 is a budget music phone with build in music player that can play MP3 files. The phone also comes with FM Radio to keep you entertained anytime. The handset has 3 dedicated keys basically made to manage the play list. You can choose the shuffle mode to mix up the play list. Listen to your favorite music on the headset that can be connect to the 3.5mm audio jack or play it aloud on the build in speaker. On a single charge the Nokia X1-01 can play music for almost 36 hours.

let pictures tell the story. nicely summed up

and no support for wallpaper?

[Tenida]

Yes you cannot set pictures as wallpaper, only theme can be change.

[Sam]

X1-01 runs on Symbian Series 30 OS thats why wallpaper can't be changed. also without any file manager, changing wallpaper is not possible. same for java apps/games.

Hi
I need a clarification on dual sim functionality

Using (Docomo + Airtel ) sims can we achieve dual sim functionality
By putting CALL DIVERTS For each sims to other one so that we can have call waiting on the active sim for the inactive sim calls ?

Please respond ASAP....!

[pratzgh1]

Well, nokia is targeting the masses in India through these phones. Nice buy mate. But still wish to have a non-camera phone that has all the above features along with customization and Bluetooth (very necessary for transfers). I remember Samsung hero series that were then discontinued! But Nokia is a trusted brand for durability.

The phone looks good too Cheers..

This is Dual Standby. Why not consider Dual Active phones ?

Samsung B5722, Samsung C6112, Samsung C5212

Reason being if your SIM 1 is busy, still you will receice call waiting if someone calls you on SIM2.
